\n\tRudolf Rimmel (27. VII 1937 \u2013 6. IX 2003) was a poet and publicist. He has remained in the minds of readers for his socially sensitive, rebelliously romantic satire. Rimmel\u2019s combative nature gave his poetry a publicistic and sometimes declarative colouring. As the literary editor of the youth journal Noorus<\/em> (1976-1995) he stimulated many disciples into literary activity, a considerable number of whom went on to become professional writers.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRimmel was born in the Kazakh SSR, the son of an Estonian farm labourer. His father was arrested in 1937 and died in a prison camp in Russia; his mother died when the boy was seven. Brought up by his aunt, Rudolf Rimmel arrived in Estonia in 1946. He attended Estonian- and Russian-language schools alternately, and in 1956 completed number 3 (Russian) secondary school in Viljandi. Rimmel gained his higher education in the faculty of law at Tartu State University. From 1960 to 1963 he worked in Tallinn as a member of Soviet police force, and thereafter as a journalist. From 1996 Rudolf Rimmel was registered as visually impaired. In protest against Estonia\u2019s entry into the European Union he committed suicide on 6 September 2003.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRimmel\u2019s first poetry collection, Hommik<\/em> (\u2018Morning\u2019), appeared in 1963. Wider attention came with his long poem Sfinks sinilillega<\/em> (\u2018Sphinx with Liverwort\u2019, 1969). Besides the socially alert and combative tone, in the collections Ohvrikivi<\/em> (\u2018Sacrificial Stone\u2019, 1972) and Haldjasaar<\/em> (\u2018Fairy Island\u2019, 1974), motifs of the love lyric also appeared. In the tense period of political changes in the late eighties and early nineties the temper of his poetry again became sharper. His long poem Maardla<\/em> (\u2018Mineral Deposit\u2019), which he wrote in 1968-1969, did not get permission to be published, on ideological grounds, and was published only in 1989.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRimmel renewed the Estonian tradition of the long poem and also wrote epigrams and couplets (the collection Usutunnistus<\/em>, \u2018Confession of Faith\u2019, 1990). Two selections of his publicistic writings have appeared.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRimmel translated a great deal of poetry from Russian. His own poems have been translated into many foreign languages.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
